We had some updates, but nothing too relevant. Ikki's opponent in the second round was introduced. His ability is teleportation. He can freely teleport anything within a 50 meter radius from himself, but this only works on living targets if he wounds them with his Device.KaenDragneel123 said:Nothing new about the novel?
And nothing about Stella vs Ikki?
Stella got a new power (enhanced senses). The rest of the chapter was just Ikki and Stella doing some stuff ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sara interrupts them right before things get intense. And that's pretty much it.
Here are Stella's enhanced senses.
Thus he silenced his footsteps, approached her.
"Wh-"
He made to tap her on the shoulder, intending to make a frightening sound-
"Don't slink up behind me-!"
"Woaaaah!!"
-which turned into a cry of shock.
Before he could touch her, she swivelled around, leg extended in a roundhouse kick.
Even without looking, the high kick was aimed right at his head.
From the way it split the air, it was not born of any ordinary amount of strength.
Only by his preternatural reflexes was Ikki able to bend backwards and avoid the blow.
"Damn, that habit from training reared its head...are you alright? ...Eh, Ikki?!"
Stella's eyes widened as she realized that he had been the one behind her.
"Ha, Hahaha...good evening, Stella."
[...]
Recalling the sharp crack of the wind as it scythed across the top of his head, his smile was rather forced.
"But those were some amazing reflexes there. I had totally silenced my footsteps and snuffed out my aura too."
It was practically a reflex reaction, and moreover it was precise, going for a vital spot despite not seeing the other party.
That was something Stella had lacked before.
"Was that something you got from training with Saikyou-sensei?"
Stella nodded.
"Well, I've gotten pretty touchy about it since she would always appear in my blind spots as and when- Ah."
"What is it?"
"Someone downstairs dropped a ten-yen coin."
So, Enhanced Hearing and Awareness.
